Article

Oropesa ( Spanish: [oɾoˈpesa] ) is a Spanish town in the province of Toledo. The town of 2,872 is famous for its castle, which was built in 1402, turned into a Parador Nacional — the Parador de Oropesa — in 1930. The castle was formerly the residence of the Toledo family of nobles. This includes Francisco de Toledo, Count of Oropesa, who became the Viceroy of Peru.

The town has a yearly celebration in April called "Jornadas Medievales", or "Medieval Days", which plays off the presence of the Castle in Oropesa.
